Re: 269, early afternoon

[nihilmancy]

I know that too. I know, the things that I feel, sometimes aren't quite what's rational, what's entirely true.

But... I have a lot. And I've done a lot. And not everybody can lay claim to being a talented flutist, cook, gardener, and a sorceress of earth-shaking power. And well-read. Somebody who loves and is loved and will seize the world by it's collar and drag it screaming if I have to. So. I feel and know those things as well.

[softlyfalling]

Exactly, so—maybe... try and focus on that.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[nihilmancy]

Mm. I will I just... thought that I needed to tell you that.

[snuggling against closer.]

Maybe I'm doing pretty good if I'm worried about things like jealousy after an attack by hellish monsters.

[ she pets her hair a little, though she continues to look thoughtful. ]

I'm glad you weren't hurt too badly...

Re: 269, early afternoon

[nihilmancy]

I got out pretty lucky.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[softlyfalling]

Honestly, I did, too... even though there was one point where I thought I was probably a goner.

[ it's barely noticeable, but the veins on her arm stand out a little more, where Hlasoh touches. ]

Got covered in that horrible black ooze, practically—it's a miracle there were no adverse effects.

[tensing a little at hearing about the danger Shrike was in, holding her tighter.]

Ah, Gods...

This is why, I want to continue training with you. Why I have to. If I can't use sorcery, I need to be able to fight like this.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[softlyfalling]

Um—really, I mean, all's well in the end, so... I wasn't alone, anyway, and you were there when all was said and done.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[nihilmancy]

But the stronger I am, the more I can do to stop people from getting hurt. Which includes you.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[softlyfalling]

Oh, I...

...that's really kind of you. Even though as you are now—I think you have plenty of good strengths.

Re: 269, early afternoon

[nihilmancy]

But... there are some things that will need, ah, the aptitude for violence, and physical prowess, to protect people, so.
